Infiniti QX56 Upper and Lower Control Arm Replacement in 3 Minutes

2006 infiniti QX56 5.6L 4x4 right upper and lower control arm replacement in 3 minutes. To ensure a smooth installation of your Infiniti Control arms, make sure to stay tuned after the timelapse for very important installation secrets.

Secret #1: The bolts going through the control arm to the frame bushings tend to freeze, seize and/or rust weld into the steel collars of the bushings, preventing the bolts from sliding out. Coat all bolts, threads and shafts with anti-seize compound.

Secret #2: DO NOT get and lube or anti-seize on tapered part of ball joint studs or tie rod studs.

Secret #3: Don't allow CV axle shaft to hang free when lower control arm is removed. Use a rope, wire or bungee to support its weight to prevent damage to the inner CV.

Secret #4: When tightening control arm to frame bolts, the arms should be roughly in the their normal ride height position. This prevents the bushings from being under stress or way out of position because the bushings do not rotate. Only the flex in the rubber allows the arms movement.
